C-SPAN - the freakiest, all reality network on TV. In the past 12 hours:
- The House was in session an hour past sunrise this morning.
- The President sandwiched some sleep between two bizarre appearances to justify insanity: The moment all our democracy and freedoms have been safely exported from our fragile shores, we will have won the war against terror and earned victory in Iraq.
- In the Senate, it's the week before Christmas and direct from the House, not a bill was returning without being loused. While Democrats were sleeping, someone said "fuck to the rules" and Republicans danced and Ted Stevens drooled.
So, WTF is going on? Is today the day? Am I witnessing some surreal, slow-motion citywide coup-d'etat - live on C-SPAN?
Move over "Survivor!" Hello "Insurrection!" Reality TV so real, it's gotta be scripted.
Was there a memo?
Did they sync their wristwatches?
Maybe a secret code hidden in the Fox news ticker?
Can Bush signal his minions with facial tics?
